Dear North American Birds Contributors,

The fall season has already come to a close so please send your noteworthy 
records from the Middle Pacific Coast Region for the period 1 August-30 November 
to the appropriate Subregional Editors (see below) or to the Regional Editors 
by 10 December.  

We welcome Jeff Davis on board as our new subregional editor for Madera 
County. We are now lacking a subregional for only Marin (!) and Tulare Counties.

Please pay special attention to the format example given at the end of this 
message. Reports that are formatted properly make our job far easier. In 
particular, it is important to note that there is a single tab between species, 
date, etc. 

PLEASE use Subregional Editors for the counties that have them.  These SREs 
painstakingly keep track of records within their counties and are in most cases 
THE source of information on the birds of their counties.  By sending your 
records to the SREs, you are helping to contribute to their county files as well 
as to North American Birds.  If you wish to send copies to the Regional 
Editors, we welcome them, but please send records through the SREs as well.  If you 
have a noteworthy winter sighting from a county without a Subregional Editor, 
please send records to the Regional Editors below.

Records of loons-frigatebirds and larids-alcids go to Scott Terrill and Tom 
Ryan at:                                        
                 H.T. Harvey & Associates

                 San Jose, CA 95118

Records of herons to shorebirds go to Mike Rogers at:

Records of doves through thrushes/Wrentit (in the new AOU order, that

We currently have no regional editors for Marin and Tulare Counties.  Records 
from these counties should be sent directly to the Regional Editors.

PLEASE meet your deadlines so that we can meet our deadlines!


Please send reports in our preferred order: species, date(s) [including 
year], locale, co. abbrev., number of birds, and observer, and then, on a second 
line, any comments.  Please separate these sections by a "tab" (except just a 
space between locale and county abbreviation) on electronic versions submitted.  
Again, here's an example of the correct format:

Grace's Warbler 12/13/98-2/20/99    Jacks Peak MTY      1   RFT, mob
   A second record for the Region (the first was 6/26/91 at Deer Spring, 
Glass Mt. MNO) which wintered with a large flock of Townsend's & Hermit warblers 
at the very top of Jacks Peak in Jacks Peak Regional Park. Details by Tintle 
and others are enclosed.


Many observers and Subregional Editors have been submitting their reports 
electronically, either on a diskette or by e-mail.  PLEASE submit electronic 
reports if possible.  We are trying to maintain an electronic database of at least 
recent records, and we hope to be able to have all old data entered 
eventually so that the entire database will be easily accessible to anyone who wants 
it.  Electronic submission of records in the format described above makes it 
much easier for us maintain this electronic database.

We've heard questions about, comments on, and criticism of our regional 
reports from several observers and SREs.  We really appreciate this feedback, as it 
helps us to better represent what is going on in the Region as a whole.  
Please help us correct any factual errors we make, and don't hesitate to let us 
know what you think of the reports.

Many thanks to all the contributors and Subregional Editors who make these 
reports possible!

Sincerely,


Luke Cole, Mike Rogers, Scott Terrill, and Steve Glover

(Middle Pacific Coast Regional Editors)
